Whether you’re refreshing a room, outfitting grandkids, or hunting for a standout vintage piece, the Tri Cities offers a smart mix of consignment and resale gems that reward a keen eye. Expect well edited boutiques, estate sale finds, and family friendly shops where quality meets sensible pricing without the retail hassle.
Let’s get to it.
Hidden Treasures
Estate-sale energy with real pricing discipline. That is Hidden Treasures around the Tri‑Cities, where small storefronts and pop-up events keep goods moving and prices grounded.
Think practical first, with sparks of vintage. Furniture that fits real homes, clean kitchenware, tools that work, records and books for a rainy day, plus jewelry and small electronics that pass a basic test. Clothing is mixed, and some locations bring in plus-size. Every so often a higher-value collectible appears, which keeps regulars alert.
Organization varies by shop. Some rooms feel tidy and tagged, others lean into the treasure hunt with full shelves. Expect functional electronics, intact furniture, and wearable clothing. Because much of the inventory comes from estate liquidations and buyouts, turnover is frequent, and their Facebook and Marketplace posts are worth watching, especially on discount days.
Selling rather than buying? They handle consignment-style estate sales, direct buyouts, and full cleanouts. Terms differ by operator, so ask about splits, timelines, and unclaimed balances before signing.
Best fit: budget-to-mid shoppers, decorators, and collectors who favor value over glossy staging.
HUNT & GATHER ANTIQUES and VINTAGE SHOP
Thoughtfully edited without the sticker shock, Hunt & Gather Antiques and Vintage Shop turns a quick stop in Richland’s Uptown into a satisfying treasure hunt. Clean aisles and a bright, tidy layout make browsing easy.
The mix skews vintage with intent: mid-century furniture, well-cared-for clothing, jewelry that shines, lamps, home decor, and small collectibles. Niche corners keep it lively, from a vinyl section managed by the owners’ son to a tidy spread of comics.
Prices sit in that comfortable mid-range, with plenty of reasonable finds for gifts or home refreshes. Inventory turns over quickly, sometimes daily, so short visits can yield new surprises. Seasonal displays and occasional vendor promotions keep it fresh.
Behind the scenes is a vendor model with about 15 spaces and a waiting list. That structure keeps things selective and clean, more curated than thrift. Prospective sellers should contact the shop for acceptance details and payout terms, and the store may also buy used goods.
Family owned by Paul and Cheryl Ziemer for more than a decade, the vibe is friendly and conversational. Most browsing happens in person, though a quick call about a specific record or collectible can be useful.
New 2 U Kids
Stroller-friendly aisles and a sanity-saving play corner set the tone. New 2 U Kids leans boutique in feel, friendly in price.
Racks span newborn through teen, with maternity from XS to plus. Add shoes, toys, books, and plenty of baby gear, plus a few furniture pieces. A small sprinkle of new boutique finds rounds it out.
Selling is straightforward. Most clothing goes on consignment for store credit, while select name brands and larger gear can earn cash after inspection. Only freshly laundered, safe items are accepted, and gear must arrive assembled. Expect reasonable drop-off limits.
Inventory turns quickly through seasonal sorting, weekly updates, and occasional clearance events. The result is a curated treasure hunt that feels tidy instead of chaotic, helped by friendly staff who know sizes and safety specs.
Set in Richland’s Historic Uptown Shopping Center, it suits the neighborhood’s family-friendly rhythm. A smart pick for parents and grandparents stretching budgets, and for anyone chasing nicer pieces at reduced prices. A quick call or Facebook check reveals current buying priorities and cash offers.
Threads Boutique
Curated racks, designer labels, and zero rummage fatigue. Threads Consignment Boutique turns secondhand into a polished boutique experience inside a historic brick space in downtown Kennewick. It feels intentional, from the airy layout to the way a vintage dress is paired with a modern handbag.
The mix trends toward contemporary womenswear with a designer streak, then adds curated vintage, shoes, jewelry, and the occasional small furniture find. Prices sit in the mid to higher range, yet the clearance rack often delivers pleasant surprises. Everything is clean and in excellent shape, so browsing stays easy.
Consignors get clear guidance and fair options. You can place items on consignment or opt for an immediate buy or exchange at drop-off, which helps if you prefer quick turnover. They prioritize quality labels and distinctive vintage, so bring the good stuff.
Inventory moves quickly, so pop in regularly or watch their social highlights for fresh arrivals. If you enjoy the hunt but prefer it edited, this spot hits the balance. The surrounding downtown makes a nice circuit with other vintage and antique shops, and the staff are genuinely helpful with styling questions.
Childrens Attic
A long-standing local shop that keeps kids resale calm and affordable. Childrens Attic anchors Kennewick and now adds a newer Pasco store to round out the Tri‑Cities.
Selection is curated, not cluttered. Buyers stay picky about safety, condition, and current styles, so larger brands and gently used pieces dominate. The model blends consignor drop-offs with quick buy, sell, or trade. Payouts can be store credit or cash, depending on what you bring.
Merchandise covers real-life needs: preemie-to-youth clothing, shoes, toys, strollers, car seats, high chairs, gear, and small furniture. Prices land budget-friendly to mid-range, with a boutique corner for nicer or new items at deep discounts. Turnover is brisk, so the treasure hunt stays fresh.
Stores feel calm and family-friendly, with sizes clearly labeled and aisles wide enough for a stroller. Staff are helpful without hovering, which makes quick trips simple.
Watch their socials for seasonal rotations and the occasional fill-a-bag or five-dollar promo. Smart stop for parents and grandparents who want quality without retail sticker shock.
Main Street Furniture Company
Design on a real-life budget? Main Street Furniture Company delivers. In Richland’s Queensgate area, this spot feels more gallery than warehouse, with tidy room vignettes and frequent new arrivals that keep the hunt interesting.
That curated mix is the charm. New and custom pieces sit alongside well-kept consignments, plus lamps, rugs, mirrors, and candles. Local art gets wall space, and you might spot the occasional shabby-chic accent, an industrial moment, or an Asian antique. It all reads cohesive, not cluttered.
Prices land in that mid-range sweet spot, so you get designer style without the chain-store markup. Standards are high, and the staff has a sharp eye for pairing pieces, which makes decisions easier. Inventory turns quickly, so check back often.
Consignors, take note. Acceptance is curated, not bulk thrift, and photos or measurements help. Historic splits have hovered around 50/50 on furniture and roughly 60/40 to the artisan on art. Policies change, so call ahead before hauling.
